Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flow field testing technology, and more specifically, to an online isotopic measurement device and method for plume heat flux and pollutant sedimentation. Background Technology
[0002] In fields such as aerospace engine testing, wind tunnel experiments, and industrial exhaust emission testing, measuring heat flux and pollutant deposition at specific locations within a plume is of great significance. As a fluid flow driven by thermal buoyancy or momentum, the core characteristics of a plume lie in the transfer and diffusion of thermal energy and the deposition of entrained pollutants. Accurate measurement of the heat flux distribution within a plume is crucial for assessing energy utilization efficiency, optimizing thermal equipment design, and predicting thermal environmental impacts. Furthermore, understanding the deposition location and amount of pollutants (such as harmful particulate matter and aerosols) directly affects equipment safety and lifespan, operator health and safety, and the formulation of pollution control strategies. Therefore, accurate measurement of these two parameters is of paramount importance.
[0003] Currently, the measurement of heat flux and contaminants in plumes relies on heat flux sensors and sedimentation collection plates, respectively. Heat flux sensors are relatively mature; both thermopile sensors based on the Seebeck effect and thermal resistance sensors based on heat transfer theory can acquire heat flux values. However, these contact-type heat flux meters can affect the flow field and interfere with the nearby sedimentation collection plate. The sedimentation collection plate is a device based on the principle of passive sedimentation. After being placed in the plume for a period of time, the mass of the measuring plate increases, allowing for the measurement of the amount of contaminants deposited during that time. This sensor can measure the amount of contaminant deposited, but its time resolution is low, only providing the total amount of contaminants over a given period. Furthermore, since the two sensors measure two different parameters separately, they cannot simultaneously measure heat flux and contaminants at the same plume location, which significantly limits their practical application.
